I came here to bitch about my own stupidity, but other people's stupidity burns even hotter.
If it makes you feel better MB, I was making swiss meringue buttercream for the first time and missed the part where I had to whip the egg whites to double size before adding the butter, so I added butter to the sugared liquid egg whites and now I have a buttery soup. I am attempting to soften more butter to make more buttercream, but as I am meeting my friend at 8, I am not confident that it will soften in time for me to make frosting (regular buttercream with powdered sugar, which I don't love the texture of which was why I was doing the swiss meringue).
Eat plain cake you say? Well, see that's an issue because I found some cupcake batter in the freezer and decided to use that instead of baking a new cake. Forgot that cupcakes are excellent and fudgy, but do not rise very much, so I had two flat cake layers. Get the brilliant idea to cut out rounds and stack them with buttercream in between and frost as mini cakes with three layers. Such a good idea if I hadn't forked up the buttercream.
But, good news is that the cake was a surprise, so if I have no cake, there is no disappointment.
Ugh for both msbelle and Vortex. Frustrating and somewhat angry-making, even if it's in very different ways.
Debet, sweet mother Mary. That's a whole new circle of hell. Every Buffista teacher has my respect right now. Also, an alibi if they need it.
-t, whoops. But yay vacation!
After reading all that I need a drink, msbelle! I'm sorry. Also, Dag.
What she said!
Seriously, y'all are going Through It.
I just made a weird baked good with coconut flour. If only all the coconut flour recipes weren't trying to be healthy! This has zucchini and bananas and I guess I overcooked it because it looked 100% raw when I think it was actually cooked. It tastes OK. (I got the coconut flour on a whim free from a neighbor, so I'm going to give it one more shot and then pass the rest on to someone else.)
Hm, I think I've seen no to striving to be healthy recipes for coconut flour. Maybe Thai desserts? Something sweet...
I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO GO ON VACATION I WILL BE WORKING ON THIS DAMN PROJECT FOREVER
Yikes msbelle. That's nuts. And vortex, oh no!! What a sad waste of buttercream.
I had a dreadful day yesterday (headache/stomach ache, barky dog, and a couple work emergencies) but today was ok. And dog is off getting groomed so I went to the store (though I should've made a list) and am doing laundry and am feeling very relaxed. Though they ought to call me to come pick him up pretty soon I think.
Also, in "wow my life is super gay" news, turns out the person whose parked motorcycle I backed into and tipped, the other week? Is someone I matched with on tinder back in like March and neither of us realized until they just messaged me having redone loaded the app and were like "wait a sec..." SO GAY
That is hilarious, meara.
So sad about the cake making travails, Vortex!
I AM DONE WITH WORKING FOR THE NEXT TEN DAYS (except for the one thing that I can't get out of doing even while I am on vacation, sigh (and turning off my phone but that isn't so much working as going in to work for a minute which I will try to do tomorrow or maybe I will just not answer my phone))
And now I just want to go to bed. My day was not difficult in any interesting or unusual way but I sure am tired from it.
